Więcej o książce

It started with punk, evolving through hip-hop, rave, graffiti, and gaming, as modern technology made youth culture more intimate and global. In this exploration, VICE magazine's Matt Mason combines his passion for music with technological insight to analyze the intersection of pop culture and innovation. He examines the rise of youth movements, from pirate radio to remix culture, and their broader societal impacts. Mason poses intriguing questions: How did a male model's disco experiments influence Boeing's design? Who was the nun behind dance music, and how is she challenging capitalism? Did three high schoolers remixing Nazis into Smurfs alter the video game industry? Can hip-hop foster world peace? Each chapter highlights a fringe movement, illustrating how it merged with technology to disrupt traditional hierarchies and empower individuals. With humor and intelligence, Mason features icons like the Ramones, Andy Warhol, Madonna, Russell Simmons, and 50 Cent, revealing trends that have transformed countercultural scenes into global industries and movements, ultimately reshaping our lives.
